note 31779 added to ref.exec

Anyone figured out how to start a process and leave it going regardless of apache's condition. I have a private webserver setup to admin some scripts that should run indefinately but sometimes the httpd process needs to be restarted, when httpd is restarted it takes down all processes it started with it. Is there someway to make the process created by a php shell execution call independent of apache? -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.exec.php http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+31779 http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+31779 http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+31779
